1 | Can we live life without sinning? | Rom 6:12 | Lookn4ward2Heavn | 209703 | ||
WOS, I appreciate your concern as an appropriate demonstration of Christian character. However: 1. It is not appropriate to criticize what one admits to have no familiarity. 2. Even "fine people" are prone to error in one point of "sound doctrine" or another. 3. My conscience does not allow me to simply submit to the opinions of others merely because they are fine and well learned people. This does not indicate any lack of respect for them. 4. Having considered their comments and looked into the info provided, I have found nothing that would warrant a change of views with respect to the present discussion. I think, as believers, we all strive to know God as best we can. Differences abound, nevertheless, and we may need to loss some of our dogmatic-oriented tendencies in order to accommodate each other’s views in a way that maintains "the word of truth" in harmony with "love of the brethren"; and, if our faith in Christ is genuine, the latter won’t be practiced at the expense of the former and neither will the former be compromised because of the latter. Does that mean we ought to tolerate heresy? No. It does mean we ought need to understand what heresy is and make sure we possess enough love and grace in us to effectively combat it lest, however much we are holding to what we deem to be truth, we fall away into error. 1 John 5:2. |

Please note, I am not the one was not the one who either started or fostered the debate; I was only sharing my views. Those who responded asserted challenged my position by advising me that I was in error. Again, I merely presented my views and made no judgments on another's. It would heve been more appropriate, if there is to be any objectivity nd fairness, that the warning should have includeded all the posters who responded with said judgmental comments (especially with respecftul menation of Doc). However, whether or not I agee, I respect whatever action you deem appropriate. |
